Description

BLOC COMPACT DE FILTRATION POUR BASSIN DE PISCINE COMPACT FILTRATION BLOCK FOR POOL POOL
L'invention se rattache au secteur technique des moyens de filtration de l'eau d'un bassin de piscine.The invention relates to the technical sector of water filtration means of a swimming pool.
Il est connu d'utiliser pour la filtration de l'eau d'un bassin de piscine, des éléments indépendants sous forme de blocs compacts intégrant d'une part, les moyens de filtration et, d'autre part, les moyens de pompage, pour l'aspiration et le refoulement de l'eau. Généralement, ces blocs comprennent un compartiment immergé dans l'eau, conformé pour être en communication avec cette eau au moyen d'au moins une bouche connue sous le nom de SKIMMER. Ce compartiment reçoit intérieurement les différents moyens de filtration de tous types connus et appropriés. L'autre compartiment reçoit les moyens de pompage pour permettre l'aspiration et le refoulement de l'eau du bassin au moyen d'un système de conduites appropriées. Le compartiment recevant les moyens de pompage est situé à l'extérieur du bassin de la piscine. Les deux compartiments peuvent être réunis par des éléments rapportés ou constituer un ensemble unitaire. Dans la plupart des cas, ce bloc est conformé en section pour chevaucher les parois du bassin de la piscine.It is known to use for the filtration of the water of a swimming pool, independent elements in the form of compact blocks integrating on the one hand, the filtration means and, on the other hand, the pumping means, for suction and discharge of water. Generally, these blocks include a compartment immersed in water, shaped to be in communication with this water by means of at least one mouth known as SKIMMER. This compartment internally receives the various filtration means of all known and appropriate types. The other compartment receives the pumping means to allow the suction and discharge of water from the basin by means of a system of appropriate pipes. The compartment receiving the pumping means is located outside the swimming pool basin. The two compartments can be joined by added elements or constitute a unitary assembly. In most cases, this block is shaped in section to overlap the walls of the swimming pool basin.
Ce bloc est donc destiné à être rapporté et monté après la construction du bassin de piscine en tant que tel. Ainsi, les conduites d'aspiration et de refoulement entre les moyens de filtration et de pompage passent au dessus du rebord supérieur de l'élément de paroi considéré. Ce type de bloc peut être illustré à titre indicatif, nullement limitatif par l'enseignement du brevet FR 8318248.This block is therefore intended to be attached and mounted after the construction of the swimming pool as such. Thus, the suction and discharge lines between the filtration and pumping means pass above the upper rim of the wall element considered. This type of block can be illustrated by way of indication, in no way limiting by the teaching of patent FR 8318248.
On connaît également des panneaux ou escaliers conformés pour remplir les fonctions de filtration, d'aspiration et de refoulement de l'eau et destinés à être montés avec des panneaux constituant l'ensemble du bassin de la piscine.There are also known panels or stairs shaped to fulfill the functions of filtration, suction and delivery of water and intended to be mounted with panels constituting the whole of the swimming pool basin.
Il ressort de cet état de la technique, que l'aspiration et le refoulement de l'eau du bassin de la piscine, en combinaison avec les moyens de filtration, s'effectuent, soit au moyen d'éléments rapportés destinés à être installés après réalisation du bassin de la piscine, soit au moyen d'éléments destinés à être intégrés avec les panneaux constituant le bassin de la piscine.It emerges from this state of the art that the suction and delivery of water from the swimming pool basin, in combination with the filtration means, is carried out either by means of attached elements intended to be installed after realization of the swimming pool basin, either by means of elements intended to be integrated with the panels constituting the swimming pool basin.
Le problème que se propose de résoudre l'invention, est de proposer un ensemble permettant l'aspiration et l'évacuation de l'eau d'un bassin de piscine en combinaison avec des moyens de filtration, qui puisse indifféremment, soit être rapporté après réalisation du bassin de la piscine, soit être intégré au moment de la réalisation du bassin de la piscine.The problem which the invention proposes to solve is to propose an assembly allowing the suction and evacuation of water from a swimming pool in combination with filtration means, which can either be reported after construction of the swimming pool, or be integrated at the time of construction of the swimming pool.
Pour résoudre ce problème, il a été conçu et mis au point un ensemble sous forme d'un bloc compact du type de ceux précédemment décrits, c'est-à- dire présentant un compartiment immergé dans l'eau et destiné à recevoir les moyens de filtration et un compartiment extérieur au bassin, destiné à recevoir les moyens de pompage, des conduites assurant la liaison entre les moyens de filtration et les moyens de pompage, pour assurer l'aspiration et le refoulement de l'eau. Pour que ce type de bloc puisse être indifféremment utilisé en chevauchement sur les parois du bassin de la piscine, ou être intégré aux panneaux constitutifs du bassin de la piscine, il a fallu résoudre le problème important de l'étanchéité entre les deux compartiments, étant souligné qu'il n'est pas concevable que l'eau qui se trouve dans le compartiment immergée puisse passer dans le compartiment extérieur recevant les moyens de pompage.To solve this problem, it has been designed and developed an assembly in the form of a compact block of the type of those previously described, that is to say having a compartment immersed in water and intended to receive the means filtration and a compartment external to the basin, intended to receive the pumping means, pipes ensuring the connection between the filtration means and the pumping means, to ensure the suction and the delivery of water. In order for this type of block to be able to be used overlapping on the walls of the swimming pool basin, or to be integrated into the constituent panels of the swimming pool basin, it was necessary to resolve the important problem of sealing between the two compartments, being underlined that it is not conceivable that the water which is in the submerged compartment can pass in the external compartment receiving the pumping means.
En l'espèce, si le problème de l'étanchéité est moins important dans le cas d'un bloc destiné à chevaucher les parois de la piscine, ce n'est pas le cas lorsque ce même bloc est destiné à être monté en juxtaposition avec les panneaux adjacents du bassin de la piscine. En effet, dans le cas où le bloc chevauche les parois du bassin de la piscine, ce dernier est automatiquement surélevé par la présence des conduites d'aspiration et de refoulement entre les deux compartiments. Autrement dit, l'espace de séparation entre les deux compartiments se trouve au dessus du niveau supérieur d'eau du bassin.In this case, if the problem of sealing is less important in the case of a block intended to overlap the walls of the swimming pool, this is not the case when this same block is intended to be mounted in juxtaposition with the adjacent panels of the swimming pool basin. In fact, in the case where the block straddles the walls of the swimming pool basin, the latter is automatically raised by the presence of the suction and discharge pipes between the two compartments. In other words, the separation space between the two compartments is located above the upper water level of the basin.
Par contre, si ce bloc doit être monté en combinaison avec les panneaux adjacents du bassin de la piscine, sans pour autant déborder en hauteur, il sera nécessaire de le rabaisser de la distance correspondant à la hauteur de l'espace libre entre les deux compartiments, pour le passage des conduites d'aspiration et de refoulement. Un tel espace libre se trouve très sensiblement au niveau de l'eau du bassin avec, par conséquent, des risques évidents de passage d'eau dans le compartiment de pompage. FR 8318248. Compte tenu du problème posé à résoudre et des contraintes à respecter :On the other hand, if this block must be mounted in combination with the adjacent panels of the swimming pool basin, without overflowing in height, it will be necessary to lower it by the distance corresponding to the height of the free space between the two compartments , for the passage of suction and discharge lines. Such a free space is very substantially at the level of the water in the basin with, consequently, obvious risks of passage of water in the pumping compartment. FR 8318248. Given the problem to be solved and the constraints to be respected:
- les deux compartiments délimitent transversalement un profil en section apte à chevaucher les parois du bassin de la piscine. - le compartiment de filtration en communication avec l'eau du bassin présente des agencements de fixation avec des panneaux constituant les parois du bassin de la piscine.- the two compartments delimit transversely a sectional profile capable of overlapping the walls of the swimming pool basin. - The filtration compartment in communication with the water in the basin has fixing arrangements with panels constituting the walls of the swimming pool basin.
- les deux compartiments sont séparés par une paroi étanche pour éviter le passage de l'eau du compartiment de filtration dans le compartiment de pompage.- the two compartments are separated by a sealed wall to prevent the passage of water from the filtration compartment into the pumping compartment.
Pour résoudre le problème posé d'assurer l'étanchéité entre les deux compartiments, la paroi de séparation présente des agencements de raccordement étanche avec des conduites d'aspiration et de refoulement reliant les moyens de filtration et les moyens de pompage. Avantageusement, les agencements de raccordement sont constitués, pour chaque conduite, par un manchon traversant la paroi et présentant des éléments de positionnement et de fixation étanche par rapport à ladite paroi, les extrémités libres dudit manchon, situées de part et d'autre de ladite paroi, étant agencées pour permettre l'accouplement étanche des conduites.To resolve the problem posed of sealing between the two compartments, the partition wall has sealed connection arrangements with suction and discharge lines connecting the filtration means and the pumping means. Advantageously, the connection arrangements are constituted, for each pipe, by a sleeve passing through the wall and having sealing positioning and fixing elements relative to said wall, the free ends of said sleeve, located on either side of said wall, being arranged to allow the tight coupling of the pipes.
Compte tenu de l'étanchéité totale entre les deux compartiments, il est nécessaire d'assurer l'aération du compartiment recevant les moyens de pompage afin d'éviter toute surchauffe du moteur. Pour résoudre un tel problème, le compartiment de pompage présente des agencements d'aération pour le refroidissement du moteur. Avantageusement, le problème posé de l'aération du compartiment de pompage est résolu en ce que les agencements d'aération sont constitués par une goulotte formée à l'arrière du compartiment de pompage et en communication avec ce dernier, ladite goulotte étant également en communication avec l'air extérieur. Les deux compartiments sont obturés par un couvercle amovible. Le couvercle présente une pluralité de perforations afin de mettre en communication la goulotte avec l'air extérieur.Given the total seal between the two compartments, it is necessary to ensure ventilation of the compartment receiving the pumping means in order to avoid any overheating of the engine. To solve such a problem, the pumping compartment has ventilation arrangements for cooling the motor. Advantageously, the problem posed of the ventilation of the pumping compartment is resolved in that the ventilation arrangements consist of a chute formed at the rear of the pumping compartment and in communication with the latter, said chute also being in communication with outside air. The two compartments are closed by a removable cover. The cover has a plurality of perforations in order to put the chute in communication with the outside air.
Pour résoudre le problème posé de pouvoir intégrer parfaitement le bloc au moment du montage du panneau du bassin, le couvercle est profilé à son extrémité située du côté du compartiment de filtration, pour assurer une continuité avec la margelle du bassin de la piscine.To solve the problem of being able to integrate the block perfectly when mounting the basin panel, the cover is profiled at its end located on the side of the filtration compartment, to ensure continuity with the edge of the swimming pool basin.
L'invention est exposée ci-après plus en détail à l'aide des figures des dessins annexés dans lesquels :The invention is set out below in more detail with the aid of the figures of the appended drawings in which:
- la figure 1 est une vue en perspective du bloc mixte de filtration selon l'invention- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the mixed filtration unit according to the invention
- la figure 2 est une vue en coupe à caractère schématique montrant le montage du bloc en position de chevauchement de l'une des parois du bassin de la piscine.- Figure 2 is a schematic sectional view showing the mounting of the block in the overlapping position of one of the walls of the swimming pool basin.
- la figure 3 est une vue en coupe à caractère schématique montrant le montage du bloc en position de juxtaposition avec les panneaux constitutifs du bassin de la piscine. - la figure 4 est une vue en coupe considérée selon la ligne 4.4 de la figure 3. - la figure 5 est une vue en coupe longitudinale du bloc.- Figure 3 is a schematic sectional view showing the assembly of the block in the juxtaposition position with the constituent panels of the swimming pool basin. - Figure 4 is a sectional view taken along line 4.4 of Figure 3. - Figure 5 is a longitudinal sectional view of the block.
- la figure 6 est, à une échelle plus importante, une vue partielle et en coupe montrant les agencements de raccordement étanche au niveau de la paroi de séparation. D'une manière connue, le bloc compact de filtration, désigné dans son ensemble par (1), comprend deux compartiments (la) et (lb) disposés côte à côte l'un derrière l'autre. Le compartiment (la) reçoit des moyens de filtration (2) de tout type connu et approprié. Ce compartiment (la) est destiné à être en communication avec l'eau du bassin de la piscine. Ce compartiment (la) présente au moins une bouche d'entrée ou skimmer (3) disposée facialement ou autrement, afin de permettre l'entrée de l'eau à l'intérieur du compartiment (la) pour la soumettre de manière connue, au pouvoir filtrant des moyens (2).- Figure 6 is, on a larger scale, a partial view in section showing the sealed connection arrangements at the partition wall. In a known manner, the compact filtration unit, generally designated by (1), comprises two compartments (la) and (lb) arranged side by side one behind the other. The compartment (la) receives filtration means (2) of any known and appropriate type. This compartment (la) is intended to be in communication with the water of the swimming pool basin. This compartment (la) has at least one inlet mouth or skimmer (3) disposed facially or otherwise, in order to allow the entry of water inside the compartment (la) to subject it in a known manner, to filtering means (2).
Le compartiment (lb) reçoit des moyens (4), notamment sous forme d'au moins une pompe, pour permettre l'aspiration et le refoulement de l'eau du bassin de la piscine, en combinaison avec les moyens de filtration (2). Le compartiment (lb) est destiné à être positionné à l'extérieur du bassin de la piscine.The compartment (lb) receives means (4), in particular in the form of at least one pump, to allow the suction and the delivery of water from the swimming pool basin, in combination with the filtration means (2). . The compartment (lb) is intended to be positioned outside the swimming pool basin.
Comme indiqué dans le préambule, le bloc compact de filtration est conformé pour permettre à volonté, soit un montage qui s'effectue après réalisation complète du bassin de la piscine, soit au moment de la réalisation de ce bassin, afin d'être intégré avec les panneaux le constituant. Dans ce but, les deux compartiments (la) et (lb) délimitent transversalement, un profil en section apte à chevaucher les parois du bassin de la piscine (figure 2), afin de permettre son positionnement rapporté par rapport aux parois (P). Dans l'exemple illustré les deux compartiments (la) et (lb) présentent un espace libre (le) correspondant très sensiblement à l'épaisseur de la paroi (P) du bassin de la piscine, afin de pouvoir positionner le bloc à cheval sur cette dernière, permettant ainsi d'enterrer le compartiment de pompage (lb), tandis que le compartiment de filtration (la) est immergé dans l'eau du bassin de la piscine. On n'exclut cependant pas que les deux compartiments (la) et (lb) soient jointifs, le compartiment de pompage (lb) étant dans ce cas, hors sol, tandis que le compartiment de filtration (la) est toujours immergé dans l'eau du bassin de la piscine.As indicated in the preamble, the compact filtration block is shaped to allow at will, either an assembly which is carried out after complete completion of the swimming pool basin, or at the time of the realization of this basin, in order to be integrated with the panels constituting it. For this purpose, the two compartments (la) and (lb) delimit transversely, a profile in section capable of overlapping the walls of the swimming pool basin (Figure 2), in order to allow its positioning relative to the walls (P). In the example illustrated, the two compartments (la) and (lb) have a free space (le) corresponding very substantially to the thickness of the wall (P) of the swimming pool basin, in order to be able to position the block astride the latter, thus making it possible to bury the pumping compartment (lb), while the filtration compartment (la) is immersed in the water of the swimming pool basin. It is not however excluded that the two compartments (la) and (lb) are contiguous, the pumping compartment (lb) being in this case above ground, while the filtration compartment (la) is always immersed in the pool basin water.
Suivant une autre caractéristique, le compartiment de filtration (la) présente des agencements de fixation avec les panneaux (PI) constituant les parois du bassin de la piscine. Dans ce but, les faces latérales opposées du compartiment (la) présentent des goujons de fixation (5) ou autres susceptibles de coopérer avec des agencements complémentaires que présentent des ailes d'assemblage du panneau (PI). Les goujons (5) peuvent avantageusement être noyés dans l'épaisseur des parois latérales du compartiment (la).According to another characteristic, the filtration compartment (la) has fixing arrangements with the panels (PI) constituting the walls of the swimming pool basin. For this purpose, the opposite lateral faces of the compartment (la) have fixing studs (5) or the like capable of cooperating with complementary arrangements which have panel assembly wings (PI). The studs (5) can advantageously be embedded in the thickness of the side walls of the compartment (la).
Il en résulte que le bloc (1) constitue un bloc mixte étant donné qu'il peut être utilisé soit dans le cas d'une piscine déjà existante (figure 2), soit au moment de la réalisation d'une piscine (figure 3).It follows that the block (1) constitutes a mixed block since it can be used either in the case of an already existing swimming pool (Figure 2), or at the time of the realization of a swimming pool (Figure 3) .
Compte tenu de cette double possibilité, il convient de gérer le problème de l'étanchéité entre les deux compartiments (la) et (lb), afin d'interdire que l'eau que contient le compartiment (la) puisse aller accidentellement dans le compartiment de pompage (lb). Or, il est nécessaire de prévoir entre les deux compartiments (la) et (lb), un espace de communication (6) permettant le passage des conduites d'aspiration (7) et de refoulement (8). Dans le cas où l'ensemble du bloc est disposé en chevauchement des parois du bassin de la piscine (figure 2), le problème de l'étanchéité entre les deux compartiments est moins important, étant donné que dans cette position de chevauchement, le bloc est rehaussé, l'espace de communication pour le passage des conduites (7) et (8) étant situé au dessus de la paroi considérée du bassin de la piscine (figure 2). Par contre, ce n'est plus le cas lorsque l'ensemble du bloc est destiné à être monté en juxtaposition avec les panneaux (PI) constituant le bassin de la piscine. Dans ce cas, le bloc est rabaissé d'une hauteur correspondant à celle de l'espace de communication (6). Autrement dit, pour un même niveau d'eau dans le bassin de la piscine, cette dernière aura tendance à passer par l'espace de communication (6).In view of this double possibility, the problem of sealing between the two compartments (la) and (lb) should be managed, in order to prevent the water contained in the compartment (la) from accidentally going into the compartment pumping capacity (lb). However, it is necessary to provide between the two compartments (la) and (lb), a communication space (6) allowing the passage of the suction (7) and discharge (8) lines. In the case where the entire block is arranged overlapping the walls of the swimming pool basin (FIG. 2), the problem of the seal between the two compartments is less significant, given that in this overlapping position, the block is raised, the communication space for the passage of the pipes (7) and (8) being located above the wall considered of the swimming pool basin (FIG. 2). On the other hand, this is no longer the case when the entire block is intended to be mounted in juxtaposition with the panels (PI) constituting the swimming pool basin. In this case, the block is lowered by a height corresponding to that of the communication space (6). In other words, for the same level of water in the pool, the latter will tend to pass through the communication space (6).
Compte tenu de ce problème important de gérer le niveau d'eau du bassin de la piscine, en ayant pour objectif de pouvoir le maintenir à son maximum, quel que soit le positionnement de l'ensemble du bloc de filtration, c'est-à-dire en chevauchement ou en intégration, les deux compartiments (la) et (lb) sont séparées par une paroi étanche (9) afin d'éviter tout passage accidentel de l'eau du compartiment de filtration (la) dans le compartiment de pompage (lb). Cette paroi (9) présente des agencements de raccordement étanche avec les conduites d'aspiration (7) et de refoulement (8) reliant, comme indiqué, les moyens de filtration (2) et les moyens de pompage (4).Given this important problem of managing the water level in the swimming pool basin, with the aim of being able to maintain it at its maximum, regardless of the positioning of the entire filtration unit, that is to say - say overlapping or integrating, the two compartments (la) and (lb) are separated by a sealed wall (9) in order to avoid any accidental passage of water from the filtration compartment (la) into the pumping compartment (lb). This wall (9) has sealed connection arrangements with the suction (7) and discharge (8) pipes connecting, as indicated, the filtration means (2) and the pumping means (4).
Comme le montre plus particulièrement la figure 6, les agencements de raccordement sont constitués par un manchon (10) qui traverse la paroi étancheAs shown more particularly in FIG. 6, the connection arrangements consist of a sleeve (10) which passes through the sealed wall
(9). Ce manchon (10) présente une collerette d'appui (10a) coopérant avec l'une des faces transversales de la paroi (9), et de l'autre côté de ladite paroi, le manchon (9) présente une rondelle (11) susceptible de prendre appui contre l'autre face de la paroi (9) en combinaison avec un joint d'étanchéité (12) sous l'action d'un écrou de serrage (13). Les deux extrémités du manchon (10) présentent des agencements des conduites d'aspiration et de refoulement (7) et(9). This sleeve (10) has a support flange (10a) cooperating with one of the transverse faces of the wall (9), and on the other side of said wall, the sleeve (9) has a washer (11) capable of bearing against the other face of the wall (9) combination with a seal (12) under the action of a tightening nut (13). The two ends of the sleeve (10) have arrangements of the suction and discharge lines (7) and
(8) qui sont en deux parties distinctes (7a- 7b) et (8a-8b). Par exemple, la partie des conduites (7a) et (8a) connectées à la pompe, sont raccordées en bout du manchon correspondant, au moyen d'un collier de serrage étanche (14) présentant un joint (14a) nervure pour coopérer avec une nervure circulaire complémentaire ( 10b) du manchon (10).(8) which are in two distinct parts (7a-7b) and (8a-8b). For example, the part of the pipes (7a) and (8a) connected to the pump, are connected at the end of the corresponding sleeve, by means of a tight clamp (14) having a seal (14a) rib to cooperate with a complementary circular rib (10b) of the sleeve (10).
De l'autre côté de la paroi étanche (6), les autres parties (7b) et (8b) des conduites d'aspiration et de refoulement sont rendues solidaires de l'alésage (10c) du manchon, notamment par collage (figure 6).On the other side of the sealed wall (6), the other parts (7b) and (8b) of the suction and discharge lines are made integral with the bore (10c) of the sleeve, in particular by gluing (FIG. 6 ).
Compte tenu de l'étanchéité du compartiment de pompage (lb) il est nécessaire de prévoir son refroidissement afin d'éviter tout échauffement du moteur de la pompe. Dans ce but, le compartiment de pompage (lb) est en communication, au niveau de sa partie arrière, avec une goulotte (ld) en communication avec l'air extérieur. Les deux compartiments (la) et (lb) sont obturés par un couvercle (15) notamment en deux parties (15a) et (15b) correspondant au compartiment d'aspiration et au compartiment de pompage, en incluant la goulotte (ld).Given the tightness of the pumping compartment (lb) it is necessary to provide for its cooling in order to avoid any overheating of the pump motor. For this purpose, the pumping compartment (lb) is in communication, at its rear part, with a chute (ld) in communication with the outside air. The two compartments (la) and (lb) are closed by a cover (15) in particular in two parts (15a) and (15b) corresponding to the suction compartment and the pumping compartment, including the chute (ld).
Compte tenu du problème posé de l'aération du compartiment (lb) et de la mise en communication de la goulotte (ld) avec l'air libre, la partie du couvercle (15b) présente au niveau de ladite goulotte (ld), une pluralité de perforations (15c).Taking into account the problem posed of the ventilation of the compartment (lb) and of the communication of the chute (ld) with the open air, the part of the cover (15b) has at the level of said chute (ld), a plurality of perforations (15c).
Ces dispositions techniques pour l'aération du compartiment de pompage ressortent de l'enseignement de la demande de brevet FR ...These technical provisions for the ventilation of the pumping compartment are apparent from the teaching of the patent application FR ...
Suivant une autre caractéristique, le couvercle (15), plus particulièrement la partie (15a) située du côté du compartiment de filtration est profilée pour assurer une continuité avec la margelle du bassin de la piscine, lorsque l'ensemble du bloc est fixé en combinaison et en continuité avec les différents panneaux adjacents constituant le bassin de la piscine.According to another characteristic, the cover (15), more particularly the part (15a) located on the side of the filtration compartment is profiled to ensure continuity with the edge of the swimming pool basin, when the whole block is fixed in combination and in continuity with the various adjacent panels constituting the swimming pool basin.
Bien évidemment, l'ensemble du bloc compact, tel que défini selon les caractéristiques de l'invention, est susceptible de présenter tout type d'aménagement parfaitement connu, tel que marche d'escalier, projecteur, rampe d'accès...Obviously, the entire compact block, as defined according to the characteristics of the invention, is capable of presenting any type of perfectly known arrangement, such as a stair step, a searchlight, an access ramp, etc.
Les avantages ressortent bien de la description, en particulier on souligne et on rappelle la possibilité d'utiliser indifféremment le bloc de filtration d'une manière rapportée par rapport aux parois d'un bassin de piscine déjà existant ou bien de l'assembler en combinaison et en continuité avec les panneaux constituant le bassin de la piscine. The advantages emerge clearly from the description, in particular it underlines and recalls the possibility of using the filter block indifferently in a reported manner relative to the walls of an already existing swimming pool basin or else of assembling it in combination and in continuity with the panels constituting the swimming pool basin.
